This week we’re On Deck not with a young musician, but rather with a method of learning for young musicians: a new American school of string playing by award-winning violinist Mark O’Connor. We’ll examine the so-called “O’Connor Method” by chatting with Mark himself about how American song can spur creativity and improvisation in string players. (A training seminar for the O’Connor Method will be offered at PSU the weekend before Christmas. Click here for more information.)
